After the two went back, they continued to farm, and the dried vegetables they had dried last year were not sold, so after planting, they carried the dried vegetables they dried last year down the mountain. Although she also sold the dried vegetables this time, the price was not as good as before, and it was almost halved, but she still sold it. If you don't sell it, you won't be able to eat it at home, and what if you don't sell it if you plant so many vegetables this year. Speaking of which, she still has to blame, if Li Bokang had been asked to carry them down the mountain and sell them in winter, there would not be as much price reduction as now.

In the days that followed, the two of them were preparing to plant trees in addition to cleaning up the vegetable patch. Yang Xue proposed to plant thorn bushes and some trees that are easy to survive and grow useful, and Li Bokang agreed. This time the appearance of wild boars in the house really frightened both of them, before going down the mountain, they also went to the iron shop to buy two daggers, one for each person to carry with him, just to prevent any accidents in the future.

Since they want to plant trees, they have to think about what trees to plant, where and how much to plant, and for this reason, they even went to the mountains to observe. Later, the two decided to plant thorn bushes in the outermost circle first, and then start planting pine, green oka, peach, chestnut, jujube and other trees inward, as well as some oil bead trees. By the way, there are also wolfberry trees to be planted. There is also the need to tie a fence to the outside of the thorn bushes, although this is very laborious, but it takes a while to grow a tree to be useful, so there must be something that can be used temporarily in the early stage.

Once you've decided on what trees you're going to plant, you need to think about where to start planting and how much you want to plant. After all, the mountain is so big that you can't enclose the whole mountain, so the project is too big and too difficult to achieve. After observing the terrain, the two unanimously decided to enclose ten acres of land around the land, although the area was really large, but they did not say that they had to plant all the trees they wanted to plant, there were many trees on the mountain, and they could not cut down all the other trees and replant them. Instead, they will plant the trees they want to plant in the appropriate places in the selected area, and of course all the marginal areas should be planted with thorns, but they will also deliberately leave a few roads for people to pass.

As for the other trees, they simply opened a small piece and planted the trees, and they didn't say how much they expected to harvest from the trees planted, but they just said that if they planted those trees, they could make some simple obstacles, and secondly, they did think that they would have a little bit of harvest when they grew up.

Originally, they planned it well, but then she looked at the slope near the river on the side of the vegetable field when she was tending to the vegetable field, and changed it slightly, but there was no major change, and it was basically carried out according to the original plan.

For the slope by the river, she wanted to drive her out and plant something else. However, it was not early yet, it was late spring, so they would plant the trees that they were going to plant as a defensive belt, and then open the slopes by the river. Due to the huge amount of work, the two of them spent more than a month planting the thorns on the periphery of the defense belt and the trees to be planted in the woods. In fact, most of the time is spent on the outermost thorn bushes, because the thorn bushes need to be planted more and have to be surrounded by a circle, so there are more places to open, so it takes more time.

For the trees to be planted in the woods, they just chose a relatively open place, opened a square or so place, and came out to plant. Especially for walnut and peach chestnut green oka trees are simpler, they are all planted from seeds, so you only need to dig a small pit to plant, compared to the troublesome pine and yellow horn trees, these are all need to be transplanted. Although pine trees can also be planted from seeds, they have no pine nuts so they have to transplant them elsewhere. But they didn't plant much, first of all, there were many trees in the woods themselves, and they also planted some other trees, so they didn't need to plant much.

As for the jujube trees and oil bead trees that were originally to be planted, they were planted on the slope of the river, and some more peach trees could be planted, so that the peach blossoms would be beautiful when they bloomed. They didn't say anything at first, so they opened up all the slopes, but now part of the edge has been opened up to plant the trees first, and then slowly put them down. The land was all cleared. In addition, because the oil bead tree is generally very tall, it is planted on the left and right sides of the slope, and when it grows up, it will not say that it will block the light or anything.

After the trees were planted, they were supposed to put a fence on the thorn side, but then I felt that it was really troublesome and troublesome, and there were still many trees, so I gave up the idea of fencing. After that, it was time to open the slope, but it was almost the end of summer when I was ready to open the slope, and the vegetables in the field were beginning to ripen. This year, she still has to dry vegetables, even if the price of drying last year is not high, but she still has an income, at least to cover some of the expenses needed to buy food, so she does not plan to give up this income.

Originally, they said that they wanted to buy some land this year, but in the end they didn't buy it because of money and busyness, but they still had this idea in their hearts. And she also decided to sell one of the Ganoderma lucidum trees at home this year, and then use the money from the sale to buy some land and rent it out, so that they don't have to buy more food to eat. In addition, the road down the mountain should be repaired again, and the grass and trees on the way down the mountain have begun to grow again in the past two years.

In the following time, in addition to going down the mountain to buy grain and weeding and harvesting the vegetable field, they were clearing the land and building roads, and it was indeed much faster for two people to do things together than alone. Before the end of autumn, the two of them had made the slopes and roads well, and now standing in the courtyard at the door looked very different from before. In addition, the road down the mountain is much wider than before, it used to be just over one meter or two meters wide, but now it has been rebuilt and it is wider by nearly one meter. There were also peach and walnut trees that she had planted before, and they had been replanted because they had widened the road.

It may be due to good management or more fat, this autumn harvest is a little more corn in the field than last year, and the yield of sweet potatoes and potatoes is better than last year. But they still went to the village at the foot of the mountain to collect some grain, and they all bought it for dozens of catties at a time. It was cheaper to buy in the village than at the grain store, and now there were two of them, and they ate more than twice as much food as before, and both of them ate more food when they were growing up. Especially Li Bokang, isn't there a saying called 'half the size of the son starves to death', and now Li Bokang is like this, but he no longer has the same thoughts as when he first came.

This year, they have made most of the sweet potatoes and potatoes into starch, and with last year's successful example, their confidence is also great. And this year, they also used the starch they made last year to make things very good, and the starch is good to store and does not take up space. The rest is used to make vegetables and seeds.

This year, she made all the rabbit skins at home and made three pairs of boots, and Li Bokang had two pairs of boots. Originally, she wanted to have one pair per person, but later Li Bokang asked her to make an extra pair for herself, saying that he had a pair last year and two pairs this year, and it would be unfair if she only had one pair, so in the end she had two pairs. Originally, there were a total of about a dozen rabbit skins, but seven or eight were used to make shoes, and there were not many left, and there were no other things left, so I put them away again and made others in the future.

There are also two big wild boar skins from last year, Li Bokang didn't peel them very well, but they were still intact, and they took them to nitrate this year. She was thinking about a novel she had read before that said she could use them to make shoes and take them away, but this year she still couldn't make them into shoes and put them away. This year, they also made a new set of clothes, all of which were cotton clothes for winter.
